• Work closely with your immediate team (engineering, design, etc.) to iteratively and quickly deliver product functionality that accomplishes pre-defined goals
• Identify, prioritise, and resolve technical, functional, and business quality issues across devices, platforms, and use cases that are applicable to the product
• Use data to generate actionable insights, leverage those insights to achieve goals set for the product, and to connect those quantified goals to meaningful outcomes for the business
• Leverage user feedback in the form of usability tests, focus groups, surveys, and other forms of research to understand how users engage with the product, make better decisions and drive meaningful outcomes for the business
• Both as an individual and working with the design team, define requirements and deliver UX designs that are easy to use, leverage UX best practices, and dovetail with the predominant UX patterns present in the product
• Drive meaningful outcomes for the business by connecting product functionality and goals to the strategic objectives of the team and the company overall
• Define an overall vision for the product that connects to the strategy for the team and the company. The ability to define a clear roadmap of highly prioritised features and initiatives that deliver against that vision
• Understand and contribute to the business strategy for a team and the company overall
• Proactively identify stakeholders impacted by area of ownership and work with those stakeholders to factor their requirements into product decisions
• Leverage senior managers and executives in the organisation to help achieve goals, deliver meaningful business outcomes, and positively influence the strategic direction of the team and the company overall.

Requirements

To do that, it’s essential you bring the following:

• Enjoy being involved in all parts of the product development life cycle – from creative discovery, analysis, testing right up to release planning
• A genuine interest and curiosity for all things digital across web, mobile and social
• Ability to manage expectations, question requirements and quickly troubleshoot problems that may arise
• Great written and verbal communication skills, confident when dealing with clients
